FREEHOLD TOWNSHIP - A pedestrian died after being struck by a car on Route 537 near Route 33 Thursday night, the Monmouth County Prosecutor's Office confirmed Friday morning.

Kevin McMillen, 64, of Union Beach was walking along Route 537 around 5:41 p.m. "when he was struck in the westbound lane by a 2003 Chevrolet Cavalier," said Christopher Swendeman, a spokesman for Prosecutor Christopher Gramiccioni.

There have been no charges related to the collision, Swendeman said. Authorities asked anyone who saw the accident or who has information on it to contact Detective Kristian DeVito at the Prosecutor's Office at 800-533-7443 or township police Officer Joseph Winowski at 732-462-7908.

Township police posted on social media Thursday that West Main Street, as Route 537 is called in that area, was closed in both directions "due to a serious motor vehicle crash investigation."
